Who would have thought inspiration would come so easy … I land in London on the day of their great horse race …… For those who just said …. The London Cup …. Stop reading now !!!

But yes …… The Grand National Steeplechase was on today and I found a pub that serves a London Meantime Pale Ale. Meantime by name and meantime by impact when jet lagged.

But closing comment is check the name of the horse we backed. Some will get the saying about when to shut your trap ….but as I discovered in London … When it is favourite and the favourite retiring jockey is riding it … Best not to make jokes about the name. Day 1 and offending people. Lucky the Ashes is not on until after I leave. Ok, am shutting the front door now. Nite.
